Mark - in my implementation, I relaxed the tspecial checking. The
reason was simple: I anticipated losing this battle when the MIME spec
comes up for revision. Basically, I figured it would be easier to just
concede rather than listen to a lot of whining. As such, some might consider
it bad taste on your part to complain. (-:
However, the fact remain that, outside of a typo in one example, the
MIME spec is very clear on the use of tspecials. One can view the typo
as a bug, but one can not view the rules as a bug. Nonetheless, I'm
sure we'll end up changing them.
